Date

Wednesday, June 6, 2012

Presenter

Course Overview

Working through the maze of oral health products is confusing for consumers and professionals alike. Many times patients use a product that that does not address any of their oral health issues and professionals use/recommend products based on familiarity and promotion rather than current evidence. This program will outline an evidence-based approach to evaluating a new product and present current evidence regarding power toothbrushes, dentifrices, ACP products, and more!

Course Objectives

At the completion of the course participants will be able to:

Utilize the principles of Evidence-based Dentistry to recommend an oral health product for a patient.

Discuss the differences between FDA and ADA approval of oral health products, the role of the FTC, as well as the guidelines and approval process for acceptance of a product by the American Dental Association (ADA).
